Good lookin' knife ya got there, son! A genuine green toad-sticker.

It doesn't look so terribly "neon" in your photo.

What's your opinion of 20CV, if you've had it long enough to form one?

It’s not my first knife in this steel along with M390 and have no complaints performs well, and like the corrosion resistance in my area that’s a plus .

Saw another K390 Stretch wearing @suingab GCM scales over at r/Spyderco this weekend, had to reacquaint myself with this one today.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

15V PM2 accompanying me (and the deer flies) for an evening of watching the river go by after a day of errands, business, and other work around the place.

This MT20 (B70P) Mule just arrived. I slapped some Halpern Titanium scales on it and found a Hess sheath that fits perfectly. I've read that this steel is similar to VG10, which I've sharpened many times (and like), so I'm looking forward to giving it a good workout.

It's like a fixed-blade PE Caribbean! I wish I had picked up several sets of those natural micarta contoured scales, but I had big plans for making my own.

Big plans, yeah I know that phrase 😉 It does look like a Caribbean fixed blade now that I think about it…those scales are the perfect finishing touch 👊

Heh... today was a day off but I was on the go from about 9:30AM to 6PM. My actual work schedule is not something most people care for, it's a rotating shift with 12hr shifts. I'd like to get out of that schedule someday.

Thanks! It was a really nice evening, and unseasonably mild for July.

I went 14dps on mine and it's a real slicer, but that's 10-12? Nice!

Probably somewhere in there, but it does have a steeper microbevel at probably closer to 15ish. It's all done freehand so there's some convexity to add a little strength also.
